CL TypeS 300+ HP With Mods?
If you added headers, exhausts and high performance air filtration to your "S," wouldn't that make the engine put out over 300 HP? How much HP would supercharging add?

The problem with that is that gains from modifications are not cummulative. If you add headers and an intake, assuming the above numbers, you WON'T necessarily get 35-37hp... you may only see 33 or so. Mods don't always work together so you can't add them together. People with all of the mods you listed, plus things like pulleys, etc, have done dynos and still aren't over 300hp. The only sure way to get over 300hp is to add the supercharger when it comes out. With all of the mods you listed you'd probably be in the 290hp area... and that's peak HP as the headers only get you around 15-17hp in the mid-range (below 4800RPM), so you would really be only averaging in the 280's below 4800rpms.....

The criteria for determining the horsepower should be somewhat standardized. If someone is talking about horsepower regarding their car, do you need to ask where the horsepower is coming from. IE: "My car has 260 horses." Ok, is that from the crank, the wheels, the transmission, the back wheels, the front wheels...or what? This is confusing. I can see where this could lead to problems with advertising as well.

Also, typically on Japanese cars Autos will lose between 20-25%, while manuals will lose between 15-20% of the hp.

Hmmmmm, that helps somewhat. If CompTech advertises that their headers will give you 32 more horses.....is that from the crank or wheels?

300 hp at the wheels
to make 300 hp at the wheels you first have to look at the hp at the wheels stock if i rember right its some where between 215 and 225 to the wheels. the comptch headers add 32 hp to the wheels($1200) aem cold air intake will add about 10 to 15 to the wheels due to the dual intake plentum ($ 190-365- i paid 190 for mine) the greddy evo exuast has an impressive gain of 10.4 to the wheels.($890 cat back) high flow cat will prob add another 5 aem cam gears and pulllys will add about another 10 if tuned right . jet ecu chip 20% hp gain and throtle response. currently comptech is working on a superchager if dealer installed will be covered by factory warrenty. so wilth all of those mods you should exceed 300 hp to the wheels you would prob run a quartermile around 12.5 . I ran a 14.9 bone stock with a reaction time consistantley at .63 /sec

Cl's do not come with 215-225 whp (maybe the 6speed), more like 195-205 at best.
Jet Chips do not give you 20%, nor do they give you a 1% gain. They might even give you a -% gain. They are full of shit.

You know Juniorbean, the more I think of it, the more I disagree with you. While I think the horsepower may not be cumlative in headers and exhaust, I think it could be in CAI and headers. Think about it. The CAI sucks in the air and headers let it out. Actually, the free flow exhausts should give you a little more HP as well, but not as much without the headers.

The problem with that is that gains from modifications are not cummulative. If you add headers and an intake, assuming the above numbers, you WON'T necessarily get 35-37hp... you may only see 33 or so. Mods don't always work together so you can't add them together. People with all of the mods you listed, plus things like pulleys, etc, have done dynos and still aren't over 300hp. The only sure way to get over 300hp is to add the supercharger when it comes out.

yes but using that same logic you can easily have the opposite happen an intake may give you 8-10 over stock
or headers may give you 24 peak over stock
but together you could...COULD get 40 because it is possible for the two to compliment each other helping each make more than they could seperatly....now what????
next how many on the same day ...have dyno'd there car stock three times..then added headers same day and dyno'd three more pulls...average the befores and afters and only then would i believe we did or didnt on that car on that day on that dyno achieve the 24 hp the comp headers claim they add.
my headers have proven them selves on the street and on the track,my car was about .5 seconds faster in the 1/8th than a couple stock cl/tl-S' at the same track

and one more thing the sc may come setup for a certain amount of boost...that doesnt mean you cant easily change that...as easy as nashau nighthawk could add his own alt pulley from UR you can change the one on the comp SC and up the boost...i think our car can take 8-10 p.s.i. about 100hp...it'll probablly come setup to make 4-6

Really u sure is 10.4 "to the wheel". U sure is not the crank. U are then talking 14-15 hp to the engine. Sry hard 4 me to believe because we already come with a sport tuned exhaust. Better question to ask...what is sacrificed? Is it torque?
By the way what do u know the model # of the exhaust system. Its called the "GReddy EVO Evolution Dual Exhaust System", right?
